Happy Mojo Nixon Day!
For the past two years we've been working on the not-so-secret project of a Mojo Nixon World Empire tribute song in the tone it always needed…FUN! Long-time friend and creative partner Jay Luttrull came to me with an idea that just kept growing and growing. Once Roscoe jumped into the project, it was unstoppable.
We decided to release the Extended Slideshow Karaoke Version first becasue it includes all the photos Mojo's fans sent to Jay for the video along with the video clips. Essentially, we had SO much great content for the video, the photos didn't really fit so we featured them on a "sing along" version for home Karaoke fun, and it's right after the official video.
The separate videos will be released in the future but for this Mojo Nixon Day, enjoy "WILD like Mojo Nixon" by Jay Luttrull!
Wild Like Mojo Nixon is the tribute to Mojo Nixon that Jay Luttrull dreamt of, brought to Dan Terpstra, and blossomed into a wild and crazy good time. Like a rusty erector set or mis-matched Lego™ collection, "Wild" kept growing and gaining momentum.
It was good from the beginning but when Eric "Roscoe" Ambel jumped in, there was no stopping the out of control Go-Kart from Graceland!
Wild like Mojo Nixon incorporates all that Mojo put out there, which Jay Luttrull soaked up like a seaside sponge. Once Dan Terpstra began connecting with the best musicians he knew and took the project under his wing, we saw this blossom into what you're seeing here. From the inception in the music room to the recording and arranging, Dan pulled almost a dozen musicians and a handful of performers together to create the video you see here. Once Jay and the page got involved, we got some of Mojo's biggest fans to participate in this hootenanny of a good time!
You're seeing the 1st in a series of videos starting on which is a double-track video. Starting with the official video and continuing to a Karaoke version which features photos sent to Jay as part of the video process. Later you'll see divided videos but for now we wanted you to enjoy the FULL Mojodom!
Thanks to all the people who sent photos, videos, sat in the studio, danced for the camera, or just helped us along the way. Let's not ask Mojo to "Rest in Peace", let's be WILD like MOJO NIXON!
